Mass tree planting in China is turning one of the world’s largest and driest deserts into a carbon sink, meaning it absorbs more carbon from the atmosphere than it emits, new research reveals.
“We found, for the first time, that human-led intervention can effectively enhance carbon sequestration in even the most extreme arid landscapes, demonstrating the potential to transform a desert into a carbon sink and halt desertification,” study co-author Yuk Yung, a professor of planetary science at Caltech and a senior research scientist in NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told Live Science in an email.
Yeah I watched videos of inside the re-education camps and the conditions the people were languishing in in their prison cells.
China has an absolutely horrendous track record of human rights, even for their own citizens as they consider them an expendable resource in their country-sized factory
I dont know you from a bar of soap, so im just going to assume you’re a chinese plant designed to spread disinformation on the topic because EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. This topic comes out, all the chinese apologists come out of the woodwork to say it’s all fake, but everytime a chinese national tries to tell the world about the organ harvesting, they’re immediately shot down by a horde of misinformers like they’re waiting for the word “uyghur” or “Xin Jiang” come up.
You yourself seem to have a weird hard-on for bringing up Uighurs arbitrarily when it has zero to do with the subject of the post. Perhaps then you shouldn’t throw stones in your glass house and accuse others of waiting to arbitrarily pounce on the word “Xin Jiang”, when you obviously do the same thing for the word “China”.
Argue your point instead of automatically assuming everyone who doesn’t agree with you is a Chinese plant. That just makes you look whiny and weak, and brings no one around to your standpoint.
It’s always deflection with your type, sn’t it…
Instead of owning up to the crimes against humanity and standing with your fellow man, it’s “go look in your own backyard! !!! Don’t watch what we’re doing to minorities!!!” Complemented with minsofrmation and disinformation campaigns.
And yes, I have a hard-on for holding countries to account for their human rights abuses, but go off queen, tell me how I look weak and whiny while you simp for billionaires who’ll throw you in the gulag before they get held accountable.
“Your type”? What type is that? Chinese plant? And I “simp for billionaires”? Are you high? Lol, I have no idea what you’re on about, but you don’t seem to feel well, get better.
I didn’t even criticize your going after China. That’s fine, argue your point, convince me. What I criticized was a reflexive turn to calling people bots and plants as soon as they don’t agree with your point. That is whiny, and comes from weakness. You won’t change anyone’s mind with that whiny garbage, you’ll just get pats on the back from those who already agree with you. Going for those pats instead of actually arguing your point shows that you’re weak, and not a good proponent of anti-chinese views. Grow up and read a little. This can be a platform for exchanging ideas and teaching/learning, instead of just attacking anyone who disagrees even slightly.
Yeah, I’m not wasting my time arguing with or trying to enlighten someone who is defending a fascist authoritarian regime when it’s been shown China just pays trolls and manages bot farms to control the narrative and their image
After Tiannamen Square, Hong Kong, Taiwan, all the academic dishonesty, planting spies in global academic institutions, organ harvesting in Xin Jiang, and IP theft China does, there is 0% chance I’ll believe China’s opinion on anything. They had absolutely no credibility to begin with.
So you can sit there continuing to scream into the void at me because I really don’t give a fuck what a fascist defender has to say.
P.s., my favorite part was when you disliked my ad hominems so much, you made your own thinking it would sway anyone to your side, like we were starting off with some healthy debate.
Not debating, and literally in one paragraph your argument fell apart into the same level of ad hominems - you must have been on the debate team in school, hey.
Well done, you sure told me buddy, good job! Not weak and pathetic at all.
